Lifetime

I broke my heart with time

babies cry

children play

and teenagers kiss each other

new adults cringe

mid adults thrive

old adults seem to suffer

50's thrive

60's cringe

70's kiss each other

80's play

and 90's cry

after one grave

I broke my heart with time

The circle of life...My mother-in-law would say now ___(her husband's name) we are the old ones...It puts one in a different position when no generation separates them from the grave...Great topic that you have chosen with good presentation...Sara
